| Abstract: | Supersonic axisymmetric viscous heat-conducting gas flow over long spherically biunted cones is considered over a broad range of Reynolds numbers on the basis of the complete system of viscous shock layer equations. An economical numerical method based on global iterations is used to solve the viscous shock layer equations. The general influence of the second-approximation effects of boundary layer theory and the influence of equilibrium physicochemical processes on the heat loads are determined for bodies with a large aspect ratio.Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Akademii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 202–205, January–February, 1993.The author wishes to thank S.
